Nicki Minaj has been hit by a growing backlash after comments she made on national television were condemned by viewers and advocacy groups as transphobic, sparking a new wave of online fury and renewed scrutiny over how such remarks are allowed to air on mainstream broadcasts.
The controversy stems from an on-air segment in which Minaj repeatedly made statements including 'if you are born a boy, be a boy' and 'boys will be boys', comments that went unchallenged during the broadcast and swiftly spread across social media.
